TeamGB’s Mia Brookes Wins World Cup In Austria

Britain’s Mia Brookes claimed the second Slopestyle World Cup win of her career in Flachau.

The nineteen‑year‑old topped the podium at the Austrian resort’s Absolut Park on Saturday with a first‑run score of 73.25.

Brookes had qualified in first place for the final and held her advantage from the outset, earning 72.43 on her opening run to stay the rider to beat.

Her winning run opened with a frontside blunt stall bring‑back, followed by a switch frontside 180 on to 50‑50 to backside boardslide to forward on the first rail. She then put down a frontside lipslide 270, a 50‑50 frontside 360 melon, a backside 900 melon on the first jump, and finished with a cab 900 tailgrab on the final hit.

The reigning 2024/25 women’s FIS Park and Pipe Crystal Globe winner was making her first competitive appearance since the Olympics. She also topped the AbsolutPark Spring Battle rail jam and the Spring Battle slopestyle earlier in the week, completing a clean sweep in Flachau with Saturday’s World Cup victory.

Flachau is Brookes’ only Slopestyle World Cup appearance of the 2025/26 season, following her Big Air World Cup win in Beijing in December. The result marks her second career Slopestyle World Cup triumph, after winning the Laax Open in 2025 as an eighteen‑year‑old.

Flachau was the third stop of the 2025/26 FIS Slopestyle World Cup tour. Switzerland’s Silvaplana will host the fourth and final event from 25 to 29 March.
